While it isn't exactly a tab, you could use
   \qquad   #big space
   \quad    #no so big space
   \;       #thickspace
   \:       #mediumspace
   \,       #thinspace
   \!       #negative thinspace
   \hspace{2.3cm}  #you probably want to avoid ruler measurements
   \hspace{4.7ex}  #varies by size of your font
If this doesn't put space in; eg, at the beginning of a line,
you might try \null\qquad\null .

Remember, in LaTeX, if you find yourself working too hard at something,
you are probably working against LaTeX and creating what has improper
form [I have done this too many times myself].

If you have many things to be tabbed, use the tabular environment.
You can turn many LaTeX problems into "tabular" solutions.
For example,
   \begin{tabular}{ll}
      first    &   second  \\
      third    &   fourth  \\
   \end{tabular}
